DocBook References

Describes how to install, configure and use the tools and resources for
DocBook XML 4.1.2. The purpose of this quick start guide is to get new
docbook authors, editors, and contributors up and running fast with the
DoocBook tools. These are powerful tool in the hands of an author. It
assumes a fair knowledge of building and installing source packages.
There are probably a million and one ways to accomplish my ultimate
goal of installing and using these tools. This one works well for
me.

This book was released by O'Reilly in October 1999, and
is a great reference to DocBook. I have not found it to be a
great practical book. You can pick it up at the book vendor of
choice, and the entire book is also available online (in HTML and SGML
formats) at the above URL.

LDP templates, tools & links

Contains links to SGML templates and their resulting HTML output
to help you see what your document will look like. Many of the tags
just need to be replaced with information unique to your HOWTO.
Also contains links to tools and other useful information.

This is a standalone web page with a number of fields to fill in
and a few buttons. When ready the compile button starts the
compilation of all the input fields and wraps it all in proper
LinuxDoc SGML, ready to process with the LinuxDoc SGML tools.

The compiled output is outputted to a read-only text area near
the bottom of the webpage, so the text has to be copied and
pasted into a file for compilation.
